Subject: [Olympus developers 418]: CMake error & invalid KiteWare Key when
	building Olympus
Message-ID: <CAOcX+CTSR2_1+=QDS3+Q=jUw+Ng6ZmAmtvKcAGsr4rKo1pWpJg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm getting a warning about missing CMake and an invalid KitWire key when
building Olympus on Windows 7. I've satisfied all dependencies listed in
the wiki and ensured that all required variables are on system path
including CMake. I don't know why I'm getting this error. I'd appreciate if
someone give me a lead here. Thank you.

Please find attached below build.log.

I've found the source of this error, OlympusBuild.pm is looking for
information about CMake (such as location and version) inside Windows
registry. But, there are no information about Kitware or CMake in the
registry. After manually adding the information needed by the build script
to the registry, OlympusBuild has successfully compiled.  :)

should be modified:
my $kitwareKey =

to

my $kitwareKey =

Hi,
      I have a couple of questions about the available code for Olympus.
i)   Has the system been tested on the 64-bit version of Windows 7?
ii)  Have you tried and tested the system on the JRE 1.7 variants?
iii) Which branch has the latest version of the code tested on newer
versions of the softwares given on the wiki page? (if there is one that
hasn't been updated on the wiki)
iv)  Is the version mentioned on the wiki compatible with the 64-bit
Windows 7?

I've tried building the version of the system given on the wiki page on a
64-bit Win 7 VM and I got this error:

"Use of uninitialized value $bestNetbeansVer in pattern match (m//) at
Build/OlympusBuild.pm line 1448.
Searching for NetBeans Ant... Error
Use of uninitialized value $bestNetbeansVer in concatenation (.) or string
at Build/OlympusBuild.pm line 1453.
Can't determine NetBeans version for"

The statement above has been quoted verbatim. I'd appreciate if you could
give an insight on the issue because I have installed NetBeans IDE 6.9 from
this link:
https://netbeans.org/downloads/6.9/start.html?platform=windows&lang=en&option=javase

Aitzaz,

The code compiles fine on Win 7 and 64-bit.

The problem (according to the error message is that the build script is not finding a particular version of NetBeans on your machine required for the build. The script wants specific versions of other applications,  arguably a bit too conservative.

In any case do you have NetBeans on your machine? If not you should install it.
At the same time, the script should not be throwing errors... I'll try to take a look.

Alex

Alex,
           I have the NetBeans installed on my machine. I'm working on a
64-bit Windows 7 virtual machine at the moment. As for the error message, I
took a look at perl script and the perl module, OlympusBuild.pl and
OlympusBuild.pm respectively. After checking the script for the various "
*find*" functions listed in the module, I verified the registry entries for
each installed software. And I found an entry for NetBeans. What baffles me
is the fact that the same script is able to find the entries for all the
other required softwares except for NetBeans and the JDK. I've attached the
build log file and the screenshot of the registry entries of JDK and
NetBeans as well in case it might be of any assistance in narrowing down
the problem.

Regards,
Aitzaz Ahmad

Hi,

     I was able to find a work around for the issues highlighted in my
previous mail dated November 14th, 2013 (titled RE: Building and
Configuring the Olympus System). The NetBeans I had installed was version
6.9 and the script requires a version 7.0 or greater. Apart from that, I
used the same JDK but the whole environment was setup on a 32-bit Windows 7
VM this time. And the OlympusBuild.pl script ran and completed
successfully. It found all the entries in the registry, created the
OLYMPUS_ROOT environment variable, and compiled all the code generating all
the required binaries. According to the Olympus wiki page, the next step
was to run a downloaded example system. I downloaded the entire
example-systems branch and chose to run RoomLine. As mentioned on the wiki
page and the ReadMe file in the systems "branch" folder, I ran the
SystemBuild.pl script. This script failed and displayed the following
message(s):

Hi,

     After reading the archived email threads, I know that RavenClaw
doesn't work on Linux based platforms. What I didn't get to know is that do
we have the same problem for Pheonix, Helios and Rosetta? Or do they work
fine on a Linux environment. I have been posting questions frequently to
the developers mailing list but I haven't been getting any response from
your side lately. I would really appreciate if you could reply to the
question in this email.

Phoenix is C code. Rosetta is Perl. Helios is C++, like RavenClaw.

RavenClaw was implemented with a view to making it portable to Linux. The main issue with Windows/Linux (for us at least) were the string manipulation libraries. An attempt was made to compartmentalize these, so in principle porting would be simpler. Some work was done towards a port (in regularizing the code) but was not completed.

Why wasn't the porting activity completed? I'm just asking to gain a
better insight into the problems that were faced during the activity
itself. Because I remember reading somewhere in the archived mails that one
of the major challenges was the underlying use of Windows threading API.
I've been considering the option of porting the code to Linux recently and
I want to guage the effort that might be required. We are working on a
spoken dialogue system for Urdu language at Center For Language Engineering
in UET Lahore under Dr. Sarmad Hussain. But we do have timelines to meet. I
just want to know if the activity would be too costly in terms of working
hours required to be considered as a viable option or not.

The student who was working on it graduated and left. Since we ourselves did not have a specific need for a linux version, the work was not continued.

I agree that threading differences is an issue as well, but without looking into it again I do not recall it being a show-stopper. I am aware of at least one commercial port to linux, but of course this would not be available in open source.
If anyone is interested in completing the port or funding a way to otherwise support the activity we would very much try to support it.

Subject: [Olympus developers 428]: Re: Support on Linux

Why wasn't the porting activity completed? I'm just asking to gain a better insight into the problems that were faced during the activity itself. Because I remember reading somewhere in the archived mails that one of the major challenges was the underlying use of Windows threading API.
I've been considering the option of porting the code to Linux recently and I want to guage the effort that might be required. We are working on a spoken dialogue system for Urdu language at Center For Language Engineering in UET Lahore under Dr. Sarmad Hussain. But we do have timelines to meet. I just want to know if the activity would be too costly in terms of working hours required to be considered as a viable option or not.

RavenClaw was implemented with a view to making it portable to Linux. The main issue with Windows/Linux (for us at least) were the string manipulation libraries. An attempt was made to compartmentalize these, so in principle porting would be simpler. Some work was done towards a port (in regularizing the code) but was not completed.

Hi,

     After reading the archived email threads, I know that RavenClaw doesn't work on Linux based platforms. What I didn't get to know is that do we have the same problem for Pheonix, Helios and Rosetta? Or do they work fine on a Linux environment. I have been posting questions frequently to the developers mailing list but I haven't been getting any response from your side lately. I would really appreciate if you could reply to the question in this email.

Subject: [Olympus developers 430]: Documentation for the MeetingLine and
	RoomLine Systems
Message-ID: <CADmGMveopYRgZv=Ng7BnA6FaUk-JHOqDOAFBdnLRJ2GyvG6c1w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
     Are there any design documents available for the any of the example
systems available at the institute? The MeetingLine system would be the
best as it is a small example system. I want to see the design and the
program flow in particular to analyze the system. Right now I'm planning to
strip down the entire system and start of by integrating the TTS with the
hub for starters. I want to integrate the Urdu TTS that we've made using
Festival. The idea is to make a small "Hello World" kind of application
where the hub will be passed a message or a sentence as an input and it
would route the input text to the synthesizer for synthesizing audio output.
With the current level of available documentation of the available systems,
I'm finding it pretty hard to do. Besides the tutorials on the wiki page
aren't that helpful as well as they do not tell you how to integrate the
whole system from scratch (that is making and interfacing each module with
the galaxy hub). Our motivation is to use Olympus and plug in our own
Speech Recognition and Synthesis modules instead of yours (apart from the
other obvious domain specific changes required) to make a spoken dialogue
system for Urdu.
However, at the prototyping stage and to present initial demos to at our
facility I need to start off with the first step that I've mentioned in the
first paragraph of this email. Any help would be greatly appreciated
because I haven't been able to come up with any piece of documentation as
comprehensive as that for the Galaxy Communicator (but it doesn't work for
windows unfortunately!).
